God may have abandoned His children, but He hasn’t died yet.
Nietzsche was definitely wrong about this one folks…
If anybody wishes to kill Him, then I can show you where He’s hiding if you’ll follow me.
Though, Him and I have already done battle and He’s pretty damn good–He’s the master in fact. I’m currently learning more, but it’s going to take more than just me if you (or we) really want to bring Him down.
For those interested, you better start practicing your swordplay, because God doesn’t play nice when the fight is to the death… In fact, he’s one savage son of a bitch!
I think something to consider is the implications involved with saying that God is dead. It means that the authoritative presence of God has been called into question within the context and structure of our culture. God is still kicking ass in Sudan. God certainly is a fighter. Islamic terrorism is a perfect example of the backlash against our Western, postmodernist tendencies. What Nietzsche should have said was, “God is dead… in the West.”
“Death” implies that the old buzzard died of some random act of fate, old age, or that somebody killed Him. However, none of these happens. I would describe it that God just oddly disappeared in history. Nietzsche was predominantly the first one to truly notice his disappearance and explain it to the world. However, he mistook God’s disappearance as death when it clearly was not.
God abandoned His children for very specific reasons:
We have raped our Mother nature. (i.e. ourselves and our planet)
We spat on his Commandments. (i.e. Christians claiming “moral decay of society”)
There are more, but I’d have to think about them and articulate…
As our Father, He got pissed and knew that there comes a time in your child’s life where you have to show them the door and hope they survive on their own. So far we’re doing a piss-poor job, but hey, you never know–we may just pull through this–or not!
First of all, don’t you all already know where He’s hiding? Nihilists should know… lol! He’s hiding in the last place Christians would ever bother looking for Him!
that is unless you can tell me how god came to exist? perhaps if he existed for ever he was just hanging around twiddling his thumbs for ‘almost an infinity’.
to bad really , that the concept of god hasn’t died yet
because once god dies we are on our own
and once that happens , perhaps just perhaps , we will , as a being , a Human Being , finally grow mature into maturity without some god, adult , to hold our hand .
That’s a much better way of putting. Though, it doesn’t have quite the same ring as “God is dead.”
Today, I was being inundated by an acquaintance of mine after I told him I was an atheist. He’s Catholic so he went on ranting and raving about how rapture will come soon and how the Jews are God’s chosen people (apparently he’s also a Zionist) and how Muslims are evil baby-eaters… He was going on such a red-faced escapade, pointing his finger at me, practically yelling that I’ll go to hell for not accepting Jesus Christ as my lord and ass fucker. Meanwhile, I’m just sitting there completely calm. Needless to say, such a contrast in disposition didn’t make him or his religion look good.
God and religion is the crutch or foundation of civilization in which it rests upon. Once it is destroyed civilization will inevitably decline without it’s hallicunating symbols and abstract metaphors upon the understanding that they are lies.
